[pct-l] Candian Entry Permit

[Trekker4 at aol.com]

Yes, the passport copy is required, preferably a color scan. It can be  
emailed to him, but don't forget to include your name, phone numbers, etc with  
the email, so he can easily find your application. He did send an email  
acknowledgement of receipt a couple days later. 
I haven't received my permit back yet, but he's dealing with, what 200 or  
more, incomplete applications. He's generously calling and emailing to get 
the  mess fixed. He must be a new bureaucrat, but it's also possible that 
Canadian  bureaucrats have a different attitude and degree of competence.

Got  a phone call yesterday from the gentleman who processes Canadian Entry 
 Permits.  I mailed my permit application and a copy of my driver's  
license as the instructions requested.  Now they want a scan of either my  
passport or my birth certificate.  Never had to do this for my 2006  hike.



Wondering if anyone else is hearing the  same?
